Missed a previous episode from Season 2 of Podcaster Stories? Want to get caught up? Not a problem - listen to the complete second season right here!We listen to our favourite podcasts, but don’t always get to know the stories of the people behind these voices. Podcaster Stories looks to change that. Each show will have a conversation with podcasters across all mediums, and share their story – what motivates them, why they started their show, how they grew their show, and more. It’ll be a relaxed chat and – hopefully – help you be the podcaster, and person, you want to be.

episode 18: Sarah St John of Frugalpreneur
This week on Podcaster Stories, I sit down with Sarah St John of the Frugalpreneur podcast.
Frugalpreneur shows people how to build a business on a bootstrapped budget, and interviews entrepreneurs to answer your questions about being successful online.
Topics up for discussion this week include:
- how the show originally started as a complementary piece to market her book
- how podcasting introduces you to so many people that can help you
- how her change to an interview-style show reignited her podcasting passion
- how a lack of podcasting resources saw her start her own company to offer exactly that
- why she took almost a year off from her podcast, and how Covid presented an opportunity to relaunch
- how the experience has been, compared to her expectations for it
- how Covid has made her much more focused and consistent with her show
- why she prefers the intimacy of podcasting
- how her own networking opportunities have exploded through the podcast
- how she found her love of entrepreneurship
- the episodes that have stood out for her, and why
- how she takes something away from every guest she has on her show
- how she's taken the best of her shows and created an online podcasting course
- why she's aiming to do more solo shows in 2021
- what advice she'd give new podcasters
- why being a guest on podcasts is so key to growing your business
- why John Lee Dumas is her hero
Settle back for a look at entrepreneurship on a budget, and how podcasting can help drive the goals and results you're looking for.
